REFLECTIONS Second Sunday of Advent - Reflect on the blessings you have received - fortuitous events, special people, your talents and abilities. Think about ordinary things like a beautiful day, not running into traffic jams, finding a good parking space, and so on. Do you ever stop and think about all these blessing that come to you every day? They are God s little love notes to you. Consider how the Spirit has been nurturing and guiding you. Give thanks for all you have received and pray for the grace to trust the Spirit. He who began the good work in you will carry it through to completion. - Philippians 1:6 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.
